RE: [RC] Arabian Definitions - heidiJohn, I agree that there has to be a quality vs quanity
comparison. And I only have those sorts of numbers for my own
program. I've been trying to avoid sounding like a
commercial. The important numbers to me are the percentages of
foals that actually make it into the sport over the life of the entire
program (which in this country is affected much more by the fact that
we don't have the sort of internal programs where the breeding farm has
control over subsequent careers, as do the monied breeders in other
parts of the world) and then the quality of the careers of those that
do make it into the sport.
I provided some raw numbers for you for just one of our
stallions. I've got the raw data here for my own program, but do
need to update it to crank out numbers for you. I'll try to do
that in the next few days.
Question: Since you have all those nice international
connections, if I contact you privately for some ride
records from countries like Argentina and France, is there a
chance you could lay hands on them? I've been trying to track
offspring of another stallion, and some are in Argentina...
